February 1986, Tommy and Nikki Interview and Live in Manchester


This rare interview with the Terror Twins was recently shared on YouTube and catches our heroes c. February 4-5th, 1986. This is a better than average interview from these years. The Crue had just headlined Europe for the first time and were about to headline the UK. The interviewer is Dante Bonutto, the man who wrote the very first Motley bio book in 1985, "The Official Biography - The First Five Years." I've never owned this and to this day it's on a list of Crue collectibles I hope to acquire.  [I do not own these images]



On the 6th, Crue performed in Manchester, England. Here is a 30 minute video bootleg of the night.

Sleaze Patrol Video Archives Part I, 1989-1991

Back when I started posting my collection of Motley video (eight or more years ago), I thought I had familiar footage to share. All these years later and my copies of Motley video from mostly Much Music in Canada from 1989-1992 are the only ones to show up on YouTube. I was all over Much Music and their sister French Canadian Music channel, Musique Plus, in those years and I got a lot of seemingly rare Crue content.
Here is a collection I put together of Crue appearances on Canadian Media in those years. Canadian Crueheads who were around then will probably appreciate this stuff more than most. Much Music VJs like Erica Ehm, Dan Gallagher and Laurie Brown were a part of our daily lives back in the late 1980s, early 1990s.
